I Think it’s Safe to Pencil in Robert Gallery to Seahawks

I don’t have a source, or anything to suggest that this is a done deal, but my gut is telling me this is a match that makes too much sense to not happen.

The Tom Cable connection is the obvious factor, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that Seattle is going to land Nnamdi Asomuagha either.

While not elite, Gallery is a well regarded guard who was easily the best offensive lineman the Raiders had(ve) and is a prime reason for their recent string of rushing success. On the open market, he is the top option available at guard besides Logan Mankins; the Seahawks luck out in that regard.

If Gallery chooses to leave Oakland, it makes the most sense that he follows the coach who he found his form under.

That doesn’t mean the deal is sealed, but, I would be absolutely shocked if you don’t see Gallery on the inside shade of Okung for the 2011 season. This could be one of those deals that’s already (somehow) figured out before 12:00 AM rolls around on day one of (whenever) free agency begins (if ever).
